Is it possible to find an actual replacement for the in dash water temp gauge? Any other vehicles it was used on?

George,,,, don't know about replacement but the factory gauge is poor. By the time it shows hot its too late. I didn't see it even though it was reapeted several times at diffrent rallys. the 500 Cady has 2 water ports. Used one for original and a second for a 2 5/8th FULL SWEEP AUTOMETER temp gauge. (caps on purpose) In the col mornings it will run 185-190. Hot afternoons (95) with AC 225!!!! I noticed NO more movement of original gauge from 185 to 225!!!! Autometers are made in Illinois.

gauges.
